TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a transfer device for transferring, toan adherend such as a human body, a thin-film to which a functionalmaterial such as a cosmetic agent used, for example, in cosmetic andmedical fields adheres, and to a printing device for generating athin-film printed body produced by printing a functional material on athin-film.

BACKGROUND ART

In recent years, methods for facial makeup (hereinafter simply referredto as “makeup”) have diversified. This makes it difficult, particularlyfor people who do not have sufficient knowledge about makeup, to selectappropriate makeup from countless options. This is because it takes anenormous amount of time and effort to actually try every makeup todetermine and compare the makeup.

In view of the above, for example, PTL 1 and PTL 2 disclose techniquesfor generating and presenting a simulation image of a face when makeupis applied. Each of the techniques (hereinafter referred to as the“conventional technique”) disclosed in these patent literatures acquiresan image by photographing a face to which makeup is to be applied. Theconventional technique generates a simulation image by superimposing,onto the acquired image, an image that shows a makeup condition whenlipstick, blush (rouge), and the like are applied to the face. Each ofthese conventional techniques then displays the generated simulationimage on a display device.

Based on the display image, a user can determine suitability of themakeup without actually applying the makeup for comparison andconsideration, thereby allowing selection of appropriate makeup withless time and effort.

However, even when makeup suitable for oneself is proposed with such asimulation image, actually applying the makeup to oneself needs aspecific cosmetic agent and a makeup set, and makeup techniques andmakeup time of some extent or more.

Accordingly, some users may face difficulty in applying the proposedmakeup to themselves or may have to take trouble to request aprofessional beautician or the like to apply the makeup.

Therefore, for example, if the user is provided with a thin-film towhich a functional material such as a cosmetic agent adheres, thethin-film simulating makeup of a professional, and if the user can affixthe thin-film on a necessary place by oneself, it is possible to finishprofessional's makeup even if the user does not apply makeup from thebeginning by oneself.

However, since such a thin-film has an ultrathin thickness and requirescareful handling, the user cannot affix the thin-film on skin easily byoneself.

Therefore, the present disclosure provides a transfer device for simplytransferring, to an adherend such as a human body, a thin-film to whicha functional material such as a cosmetic agent used, for example, incosmetic and medical fields adheres, without damage to the thin-filmitself.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENT Findings Underlying the Present Disclosure

The present disclosure provides a transfer device for simplytransferring, to an adherend such as a human body, a thin-film to whicha functional material such as a cosmetic agent used, for example, incosmetic and medical fields adheres, without damage to the thin-filmitself.

This enables, for example, people who do not have sufficient knowledgeor techniques about makeup and people who cannot take time for makeup toapply makeup easily, quickly, and safely without assistance.

However, since the thin-film has a thickness of the order of nanometers(a material and thickness of the thin-film will be described later),which is so thin that the user does not feel the thin-film is affixed onthe skin, handling requires greatest care.

Accordingly, at a time of transfer, the thin-film can be preferablytransferred directly from a printing device to a human body withouthuman intervention. This is because affixation of the thin-film on apredetermined place of a human body after the thin-film is once pickedup by hand may cause degradation of the thin-film printed body itself orfailure in the affixation.

That is, in the present disclosure, in view of the aforementionedproblems, a transfer device has been created for easily and securelytransferring, to the human body, a delicate thin-film printed bodyhaving a directional transfer surface, the thin-film printed body beingoutput from the printing device for the thin-film printed body.

An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure will be described indetail below with reference to the drawings.

First Exemplary Embodiment

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an external appearance of printingdevice 100 according to a first exemplary embodiment of the presentdisclosure. Printing device 100 is connected to makeup informationterminal 140, and can receive makeup information. Here, makeupinformation terminal 140 may include an input unit capable of receivingmakeup information related to a user, a camera capable of photographingthe user oneself, and the like. In addition, makeup information terminal140 may be connected to a network to obtain makeup information fromoutside.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an internal structure of printingdevice 100 according to the first exemplary embodiment of the presentdisclosure. FIG. 2 schematically illustrates thin-film sheet 110 fedfrom thin-film sheet feeder 101 being delivered to transfer unit 105 asthin-film printed body 160.

With reference to FIG. 4, a description will now be given of aconfiguration of transfer device 200 according to the first exemplaryembodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustratingthe configuration of transfer device 200 according to the firstexemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

Transfer device 200 includes endless belt 201, rollers 202, and gripportion 203. Grip portion 203 is configured as a portion to grip byhand, or means gripping an end of roller 202.

Thin-film printed body 160 with functional material 170 printed onthin-film 120 is retained on endless belt 201. Endless belt 201 causesthin-film printed body 160 to transfer to skin by bringing thisthin-film 120 portion into intimate contact with a human body.

A surface of endless belt 201 may, for example, receive surfacetreatment for increasing hydrophilic properties, have an uneven pattern,or use a temperature-responsive polymer. A concentration of eitherpositive or negative may be increased by applying an electric field orthe like.

Appropriate tension is typically applied to endless belt 201 by tworollers 202, thereby improving an adhesive property when being pressedagainst the skin. When the user holds grip portion 203, presses transferdevice 200 against a desired place of the human body, and moves transferdevice 200 in a right direction according to printing content, the usercan transfer thin-film printed body 160 on which functional material 170or the like is printed from endless belt 201 onto the skin.

Transfer device 200 is typically incorporated in printing device 100 forproducing the thin-film printed body. Transfer device 200 is configuredso that thin-film printed body 160 with functional material 170 or thelike printed on thin-film 120 can be transferred from printing device100 on endless belt 201 of transfer device 200.

Next, printing device 100 will be described with reference to FIG. 3.FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of printing device 100for thin-film printed body 160.

Printing device 100 includes thin-film sheet feeder 101, humidifier 102,controller 103, printing unit 104, and transfer unit 105.

Thin-film sheet feeder 101 includes a roller and drive mechanism forfeeding thin-film sheet 110 from outside of printing device 100 intoinside of printing device 100.

Here, thin-film sheet 110 is thin-film 120 mounted on first support 130in advance, thin-film 120 serving as a base for printing a functionalmaterial 170 or the like. Thin-film sheet 110 is provided, for example,in a form of a seal or a roll.

In such thin-film sheet 110, an interface (C) between thin-film 120 andfirst support 130 is retained by, for example, static electricity,chemical adsorption, and physical adsorption. A surface of first support130 of thin-film sheet 110 has, for example, a hydrophilic group.

Thin-film sheet feeder 101 rolls and feeds thin-film sheet 110 intoinside of printing device 100 while rotating a roller to avoid damagingthin-film 120 of thin-film sheet 110.

Then, thin-film 120 in thin-film sheet 110 is required to have acharacteristic suitable for print of functional materials 170 such as acosmetic agent and a medical material, and for subsequent affixation onthe human body. In other words, the thin-film itself is preferably abiocompatible, safe material that does not have adverse health effectson the human body, such as a stimulus and a hazardous property.

Preferably, a surface of thin-film 120 on a side on which functionalmaterial 170 or the like is printed fixes functional material 170 or thelike well, and does not allow a component of functional material 170 orthe like to penetrate to a surface on an opposite side that is to beaffixed onto the human body. This minimizes damage caused by thefunctional material or the like to the human body.

In addition, a surface of thin-film 120 to be affixed on the human bodyhas an adhesive property capable of coming into intimate contact withskin by itself without the need for another material, such as anadhesive agent. This makes it possible to prevent damage caused by theadhesive agent or the like to the human body, to eliminate a process ofadding an adhesive layer to thin-film 120, and to facilitatemanufacturing of thin-film printed body 160.

Since thin-film 120 supports functional material 170, such as a printedcosmetic agent, thin-film printed body 160 including thin-film 120 andfunctional material 170 is adapted to be transferred to skin by beingpressed against the skin.

As such a thin-film, for example, a nano thin-film or the like based ona nano sheet of a biocompatible polymer can be used.

Humidifier 102 has a mechanism for humidifying thin-film sheet 110.Humidifier 102 can improve pliability of thin-film 120 and lower anadhesive force of the interface (C) between first support 130 andthin-film 120 by, for example, spraying vapor or water-soluble liquid,or by putting thin-film sheet 110 in water or water-soluble liquid.

Further, humidifier 102 is, for example, humidifier 102 maintained atconstant humidity, and humidifies thin-film 120 by putting thin-film 120in a constant humidity environment. Alternatively, humidifier 102humidifies thin-film 120 by causing a base material containing water orwater-soluble liquid to come into contact with thin-film 120.

Humidifier 102 may be provided before or after printing, or both beforeand after printing in printing unit 104. However, it is possible toobtain an effect of the present exemplary embodiment even if humidifier102 is not provided.

Controller 103 generates printing information about how functionalmaterial 170 or the like is to be printed on thin-film 120. Controller103 includes a communication unit for communication with, for example,external makeup information terminal 140, a signal processor, a storageunit, and the like. The generated printing information is sent toprinting unit 104 as a printing signal (control signal for a printingoperation of a head).

Makeup information terminal 140 with which controller 103 communicatesprovides makeup information that serves as a base for generating theprinting information. The makeup information is, for example,information that shows details of makeup proposed for a user who wantsto receive makeup assistance. The makeup information is provided, forexample, as an application in makeup information terminal 140 or ascloud service from a server to which makeup information terminal 140 isconnected.

Printing unit 104 has a head mechanism for printing functional material170 on thin-film 120 of thin-film sheet 110 based on the printing signalfrom controller 103. Printing unit 104 employs a known printing method,for example, a bubble jet method and a thermal dye-sublimation method.The printing method is not limited as long as functional material 170 orthe like can be printed well on thin-film 120.

Transfer unit 105 is configured as a transferring unit and functionsonly when transfer device 200 is incorporated in printing device 100.

Transfer unit 105 transfers thin-film printed body 160 on whichfunctional material 170 is printed by printing unit 104 from firstsupport 130 to endless belt 201 of transfer device 200 without damagesto thin-film printed body 160. Transfer unit 105 includes, for example,a roller and a drive mechanism.

Printing device 100 may further include endless belt regeneration unit106.

Endless belt regeneration unit 106 cleans endless belt 201 automaticallywhile transfer device 200 is incorporated in printing device 100.Endless belt regeneration unit 106 removes a residue of functionalmaterial 170 or the like and regenerates transfer performance of endlessbelt 201 by, for example, spraying vapor on endless belt 201.

Printing device 100 may further include a cutting unit (not illustrated)for cutting thin-film 120 or thin-film printed body 160 into a desiredshape before transfer unit 105. The cutting unit can assist simplermakeup by, for example, processing thin-film printed body 160 for localmakeup, such as rouge and eye shadow, into a shape convenient fortransfer to a place for the local makeup.

With the foregoing configuration, when transfer device 200 affixesthin-film printed body 160 transferred from printing device 100 on thehuman body, functional material 170 that is printed based on makeupinformation is easily affixed on the skin to produce a visual effect asif makeup has been applied. This enables people who do not havesufficient knowledge or techniques about makeup and people who cannottake time for makeup to apply makeup easily, quickly, and safely.

Next, operations of transfer device 200 and printing device 100according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosurewill be described with reference to FIG. 3, FIG. 4, and FIG. 5A to FIG.5E. FIG. 5A to FIG. 5E are diagrams each illustrating the operations ofprinting device 100 and transfer device 200.

First, thin-film sheet feeder 101 supplies thin-film sheet 110 fromoutside of printing device 100 into inside of printing device 100.

Next, thin-film sheet 110 including thin-film 120 and first support 130is sent to printing unit 104. Here, printing unit 104 prints functionalmaterial 170 corresponding to makeup information from outside onthin-film 120 in accordance with printing information generated bycontroller 103.

At this time, controller 103 communicates with, for example, makeupinformation terminal 140 that is outside of printing device 100 toobtain the makeup information. Controller 103 generates the printinginformation about what printing is to be made on thin-film 120 in orderto apply the makeup, and transmits the printing information to printingunit 104 as a control signal.

Based on the control signal, printing unit 104 drives a head to printfunctional material 170 on thin-film 120.

As a result, thin-film printed body 160 is formed with functionalmaterial 170 laminated on thin-film 120.

As functional material 170, it is possible to select not only a cosmeticagent for female makeup but also every material that can performfunctions required in medical or other fields.

In addition, preferably a thickness of thin-film 120 is between 10 nmand 10,000 nm inclusive (between 10 nm and 10 μm inclusive).Particularly, a thickness of between 10 nm and 500 nm inclusive is morepreferable. This is because a test result shows that the adhesiveproperty to skin is good when the thickness is 500 nm or less.

Furthermore, it is possible to use an arbitrary material as a materialfor biocompatible thin-film 120 with no particular limitation. Examplesof the materials for the thin-film include polyesters represented bypolyglycolic acid, polylactic acid, polycaprolactone, polyethylenesuccinate, and polyethylene terephthalate, or copolymers thereof;polyethers represented by polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol;polyamides represented by nylon, polyglutamic acid, and polyasparticacid, or salts thereof; polysaccharides represented by pullulan,cellulose, starch, chitin, chitosan, alginic acid, hyaluronic acid, andcornstarch, or salts thereof; silicones represented by acrylic siliconeand trimethylsiloxysilicate; acrylic acids represented by alkylacrylate, silicone acrylate, and amide acrylate, or copolymers thereof;polyvinyl alcohol; polyurethane; polycarbonate; polyacid anhydride;polyethylene; and polypropylene.

Here, the makeup information means information for printing a materialthat supports some functional components such as components for widevariety of uses including cosmetic and medical uses on thin-film 120 tobe affixed on skin. The present exemplary embodiment only disclosesmakeup as an example.

For example, when the cosmetic use is considered, the makeup informationis information for makeup of part or all of a face, and meanswide-ranging makeup from makeup for concealing part of spots to fullmakeup of the entire face. However, when uses in other fields, forexample, a medical use and the like are considered, the makeupinformation may also be used for a region other than a face.

Furthermore, the makeup information may be provided by analyzing makeupoptimized for an individual user, and may be provided as information forapplying the latest makeup or makeup for a specific celebrity as anapplication installed in makeup information terminal 140 or as cloudservice from a server via a network.

In addition, when the medical use is considered, a use for concealing ascar, such as a bruise or a burn, and a use for printing a medicinalingredient to be used on an affected part like an adhesive plaster canbe considered.

That is, use functions widely needed can be suitably added by causing afunctional component needed for each use to be supported regardless of ause field.

Here, thin-film printed body 160 may be used so that a medical orcosmetic effect is obtained by causing a medical component or a cosmeticcomponent to penetrate inside of the thin-film, whereas thin-filmprinted body 160 may be used so that a functional material, such as acosmetic agent, does not penetrate inside of the thin-film. That is, itis possible to select among various implementations depending on the useof the supported (printed) functional component.

In addition, it is possible to freely design and print by oneself a sealfor cheering sports, a seal to be affixed on a face in an amusementpark, and the like.

Furthermore, with makeup information terminal 140, it is also possibleto analyze a user's individual beauty information from image informationobtained by photographing the user's face, and to customize printing offunctional material 170. For example, it is also possible to have askin-color correction function for matching a color with the user's skincolor.

It is also possible to load individual face information to print anactive ingredient (for example, a moisturizer, a sunscreen, askin-whitening agent) only on a necessary place.

In addition, extraction of a characteristic point of the user's facemakes it possible to print a positioning symbol, an arrow indicating amovement direction, and the like that assist the user in affixing thefilm simultaneously with functional material 170, thereby assistingsimpler makeup.

In printing unit 104, thin-film sheet 110 on which functional material170 is printed is humidified by humidifier 102 before being sent totransfer unit 105. Such humidification improves softness of thin-film120, and lowers an adhesive force of an interface (C) between firstsupport 130 and thin-film 120.

Humidifier 102 facilitates and ensures transferring of thin-film printedbody 160 from first support 130 to endless belt 201 in subsequenttransfer unit 105.

Then, humidified thin-film sheet 110 on which functional material 170 isprinted is sent to transfer unit 105. Here, only thin-film printed body160 is transferred on endless belt 201 of transfer device 200 installedin advance in printing device 100.

At this time, in transfer unit 105, endless belt 201 of transfer device200 is brought into intimate contact with a functional material 170 sideof thin-film printed body 160 on first support 130.

Here, an adhesive force at an interface (C) between first support 130and thin-film 120, and an adhesive force at an interface (A) between asurface of thin-film 120 on which makeup information is printed andendless belt 201 are set in advance such that the former adhesive forceis smaller than the latter adhesive force (C<A). Accordingly, thin-filmprinted body 160 separates from first support 130 on a thin-film 120side, and comes into intimate contact with endless belt 201 of transferdevice 200 on a functional material 170 side. As a result, thin-filmprinted body 160 is transferred well from first support 130 to endlessbelt 201.

The user waits for thin-film printed body 160 with functional material170 or the like printed on thin-film 120 by printing device 100 to betransferred on endless belt 201 of transfer device 200. The user thendetaches transfer device 200 from printing device 100.

The user then holds grip portion 203 of transfer device 200, pressestransfer device 200 against a desired place on the human body, andslowly moves transfer device 200 in a right direction according toprinting content.

Then, rotating rolls in transfer device 200 rotate, and a windingsurface of endless belt 201 moves, thereby allowing transfer ofthin-film printed body 160 on which makeup information is printed fromendless belt 201 onto the human body.

At this time, a positioning mark, an arrow indicating a movementdirection, and the like printed on thin-film printed body 160 allow theuser to operate transfer device 200 based on the mark or the arrow,thereby assisting simpler makeup.

In addition, transfer device 200 may be configured to be an automatictransfer device by mounting a sensor for detecting a shape of the humanbody or the like such that the positioning mark is automaticallypositioned in a corresponding place on the human body. Moreover,transfer device 200 may be configured such that makeup informationterminal 140 recognizes a position of transfer device 200 and navigatestransfer device 200 to a transfer position on the skin, therebyachieving transfer to an appropriate position on the human body.Furthermore, transfer device 200 may include a transmitting unit forproviding positional information to work with makeup informationterminal 140 and to further navigate transfer device 200 to anappropriate position.

Since two rollers 202 apply moderate tension in moderate width, endlessbelt 201 can transfer thin-film printed body 160 well with an adhesiveproperty even on an uneven surface on the human body.

A transferring operation in transfer device 200 will be described withreference to FIG. 4.

After being detached from printing device 100, transfer device 200 ispressed against a desired place of the human body by the user.

At this time, an adhesive force A and an adhesive force B are set tosatisfy a relationship of A<B in advance, the adhesive force A being atan interface (A) between endless belt 201 and a surface of thin-filmprinted body 160 on which functional material 170 is printed, theadhesive force B being at an interface (B) between the human body (skin)and thin-film 120. Accordingly, thin-film printed body 160 separatesfrom endless belt 201 of transfer device 200 on a functional material170 side, and comes into intimate contact with the skin on a thin-film120 side. As a result, thin-film printed body 160 is transferred wellfrom endless belt 201 to the skin. A magnitude relationship of theadhesive forces can be evaluated by a quantitative evaluation usingdevices, such as a rheometer and a bondtester, and by visuallydetermining a proportion of thin-film printed body 160 being transferredwhen thin-film printed body 160 is affixed on a base material or theskin.

In this way, thin-film printed body 160 that is thin-film 120 on whichfunctional material 170 is printed is transferred to the skin bytransfer device 200, and the makeup is completed.

With the foregoing configuration, when transfer device 200 is detachedfrom printing device 100, pressed against a desired place on the humanbody, and moved, it is possible to easily transfer thin-film printedbody 160 on which functional material 170 or the like is printed.

The present exemplary embodiment eliminates a concern about an influenceof a printing agent on a living body because a printing surface offunctional material 170 of thin-film printed body 160 is always on anopposite side of a surface on a side that is to be transferred to skin.

That is, since only a biocompatible thin-film side is transferred to thehuman body, a user having skin weak to, for example, a cosmetic agent,can also apply makeup easily and freely without limitation to a cosmeticagent or the like.

It is needless to say that the present disclosure is not limited to theaforementioned exemplary embodiment and that various modifications maybe made appropriately within the intended scope of the presentdisclosure.

The configuration of the present disclosure enables an ultrathinthin-film to be simply transferred to an adherend such as a human bodywithout damage to the thin-film itself, the thin-film having an adheredfunctional material such as a cosmetic agent used, for example, incosmetic and medical fields, the thin-film requiring careful handling.

This enables people who do not have sufficient knowledge or techniquesabout makeup and people who cannot take time for makeup to applybeautiful, safe makeup easily and quickly without assistance.
